Spring Hunts Photo Contest! Let's see um'!!

Founder · Apr 23, 2020

In this photo contest, let's see some of your best Spring Hunting Photos .... such as bear hunting, turkey hunting, antler hunting, etc. Anything you hunt in the Spring time.
They can be regular point-n-shoot camera pics, digiscoping pics or even trail camera photos. Feel free to post up to 3 photos for the contest, but post them in separate posts, as only the first photo in each post shows up as a thumbnail above.
Share a little detail about the pics too!

We'll run the photo contest for a month or so and I'll pick a couple winners in the 2nd half of May.

The contest prizes will be a Phone Skope Kit for 1st place and Pyro Putty and an Arch Lighter for 2nd place. Thanks to the folks at Phone Skope for the gear! If you don't already own the a Phone Skope, then get over to their site and get one......that is if you don't win one here! It's a valuable piece of gear to have with you for helping to preserve your hunting and scouting adventures.

There is nothing better than a great bird to start the LE turkey hunt. This tom came in on rope and we were able to harvest him. A giant beautiful tom.

The best is when a plan comes together turkey hunting. This awesome Merriam tom was just what we were hoping for. Success on the LE turkey hunt.

Hunting at its best for education purposes!! Quite the experience trying to find these things they hide well!!

DoubleDropMuley · Apr 23, 2020

First time hunting turkeys this spring, right after a kid came strolling through the woods and ended it for us I’m sure the wife was cussing to someone?

Here's my utah le granddaddy bird 1 1/4" spurs and 9in beard not bad for a rio

SureShot · Apr 23, 2020

My first ever turkey. I had my 6-year-old son along as my guide.

SureShot · Apr 23, 2020

Nothing better than a nice horse ride to get away from the crowds and hunt some undisturbed turkeys.

DIYhunter · Apr 23, 2020

My son was able to get a nice gobbler on a youth hunt in NM.

WRC · Apr 23, 2020

Son turned 4 on 4/4/20. Took him on his first real hunt a few weeks later. I was so impressed how in to it he was. Hard to get him to sit still and quite but he froze long enough for me to nab this rio. Mounting the fan for his room to commemorate the first of many hunts we will share.

Went lion hunting yesterday. Let the dogs hunt up into a nasty canyon. Had my friend drop me off so I could hike down and pick up dogs. On the way out my dog came across this lion scratch under a juniper tree on a ridge.

It was a noce day to be out.

elkassassin · May 3, 2020

My sons first turkey

A little spring hunting success for me in the desert.

tulsaburnside · May 6, 2020

On the third day of chasing this tom, he made the mistake of crossing the field to come into my decoys. His last mistake was brushing the jake decoy at 24 yards!

tulsaburnside · May 6, 2020

I gave him 3 hours on Saturday, 10 hours Sunday, and it only took 40 minutes on Monday morning. Spent Sunday calling, tailing him and his 3 hens, crawling through grass for a couple of hours in view, and setting up where I thought they would roost only to have them go the opposite direction. But that give me the info to set me up for the next mornings' success. 10 1/8" bear, 15/16' spurs.

tulsaburnside · May 6, 2020

And just for good measure, I caught a softshell turtle and channel cat fishing that morning which also got processed for the freezer. Who doesn't like wild turkey, catfish, and turtle going in the freezer!

deerkiller · May 6, 2020

I was able to take my 13th consecutive spring turkey in Utah yesterday, 9 general OTC tags and 4 LE draw tags. I love hunting all kinds of animals, but spring turkeys is at the top of my list of favorites
